I actually like both.

Cleaning is a task, though.

Trotters can be cleaned using a scalpel (the kind surgeons use).

I find that works fine.

A scalpel is much sharper than a knife.
 
while there is no research or indication of any sort that you gain the powers of the organ you eat, there is a mention of characteristics of the animals we eat.

Eating brains won't give you bran power, might give you mad cow disease. how do you think they got it?

But there is a hadith that says that you take on the traits of the type of animals you eat, therefore predatory animals are forbidden to eat.
 
Yes. Those aren't eaten.

Now that you mention it:

Musk was the perfume most used by Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم.

عن محمد بن علي قال سألت عائشة أكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتطيب قالت نعم بذكارة الطيب المسك والعنبر

​
Muhammad ibn `Ali narrates, "I asked `Aa'ishah رضي الله عنها, 'Did Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم use perfume?' She said, 'Yes - the manliest of perfumes: Musk and Ambergris." [Narrated in Sunan an-Nasaa'i.]

Hmm doen't Sheikh Hasan bin Ali AshShuranbulaliرحمه الله mention:
? "نافجة المسك طاهرة كلمسك و أكله حلال"
 
That text in Arabic is from Noor-ul-Eedhaah, and means, "The pouch containing the musk of the animal is Taahir (pure) as is the musk itself, and is permissible to eat." [Noor-ul-Eedhaah wa Najaat-ul-Arwaah, Kitaab-ut-Tahaarah.]

If it's cut off while the animal is still alive, then it will not be permissible to consume.

والله أعلم​
 
So it can't be eaten if the animal is alive but to use it is permissible?
 
Hadeeth Regarding the Dhabb:

عن عبد الله بن عباس عن خالد بن الوليد : أنه دخل مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيت ميمونة فأتي بضب محنوذ فأهوى إليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بيده ، فقال بعض النسوة أخبروا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بما يريد أن يأكل ، فقالوا : هو ضب يا رسول الله ، فرفع يده ، فقلت : أحرام هو يا رسول الله ؟ قال : " لا ولكن لم يكن بأرض قومي فأجدني أعافه " ، قال خالد : فاجتررته فأكلته ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ينظر

​
Hadhrat Khaalid ibn al-Waleed رضي الله عنه narrates that he visited the house of Hadhrat Maymoonah رضي الله عنها along with Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم. A roasted Dhabb was presented. Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم stretched out his hand to eat it, but some of the women (in the house) said, "Inform Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم what it is he intends to eat." So they said, "Yaa Rasoolallaah صلى الله عليه وسلم, it is a Dhabb." So he lifted his hand (i.e. he did not partake of it). I asked, 'Is it Haraam, Yaa Rasoolallaah صلى الله عليه وسلم?' He said, 'No, but it is not from the land of my people, and I find that I would avoid it.' So I chewed it and ate it while Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم was looking on (i.e. he did not forbid it)." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

Braai'd Rabbit with Coal Roasted Creamy Mash & Veg Skewers

RabbitIngredients:
  • 1 butchered & portioned rabbit
  • 100g Rosemary chopped
  • 100g thyme chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves finely diced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • salt & pepper to taste
Method:1. In a large bowl, mix together your thyme, rosemary, garlic, smoked paprika, light olive oil, salt & pepper. Taste the marinade & adjust the seasoning to your liking.
2. Rub in the marinade on the rabbit portions & leave to marinate at room temperature whilst you prepare your braai fire.
3. Once the coals are hot without flames, divide your braai into two sections with one half of it with no coals & the other packed with coals. This is great for heat control.
4. Remove your rabbit meat from the marinade with no excessive oil & sear it on the side packed with hot coals for that lovely crispy skin on the outside, colour & to seal-in the juices as well, then move them to the other half to cook slowly over indirect heat.
5. When done, place in a tray & cover with foil to keep from drying out. One has the option of brushing it with our beloved Mrs balls chutney glaze before removing from the heat for that sticky icky wild rabbit experience!!

MashIngredients:

  • [*]4 large potatoes
    [*]125ml cream
    [*]50g butter
    [*]100g Green Peas
Method:1. Rub your clean potatoes with oil & sprinkle salt & pepper.
2. Wrap each potato in foil & place on the braai slightly indirectly over the coals so as to roast in the foil slowly for just about 45min to an hour whilst turning consistently.
3. When soft to the touch, let them cool off, then peel off the skin.
4. In a bowl, add your butter and mash and mix whilst gently adding cream till it’s a smooth & creamy consistency with a lovely creamy colour.
5. Season to taste & mix in your blanched green peas or add them raw to let them steam through.

Veg skewersIngredients:

  • [*]1 large Red onion
    [*]2 red & yellow peppers
    [*]2 courgettes
Method:
1. Cut your onions into quarters, peppers into bite size pieces & courgettes.
2. Slide your onion down the skewer, followed by your courgette, pepper, onion & courgette again.
3. Once you have 5 to six portions, drizzle olive oil & season lightly with salt & pepper & whack that on the braai bru till charred lightly.

Enjoy!

The rabbit doesnt look nice on the braai or in the pot.+o(

Why do they cook it whole? It seems like the more graphic it looks the more they like it:nervous:
 
It's nicer if it's cooked whole. Same like with a chicken. Chickens are nicest when roasted whole, and then you just slice off pieces and eat.
 
The rabbit on the braai looks like a chicken. It will probably taste like a chicken, too.

It's just that people are not used to rabbits being eaten, so when they see it, they get put off. But in places where it is eaten regularly and by everyone, no one will see it that way. They'll see braaing a rabbit exactly the same as braaing a chicken.

Some people eat pigeons as well.
 
I'm not sure about South Africa, but in England rabbits are very popular pets so it's hard seeing them as food.

I prefer my food to be as vague as possible about where it came from.....when it's whole like that I can imagine it jumping off the braai...

Why whole? I dont like the looks of it, rather cut it up, its even easier to serve that way. I dont even like whole roasted chicken, prefer it in portions. The further it looks from its real shape the better, otherwise it is unpalatable.+o(

Rabbit must be as delicate as chicken. Pigeon must be very tender meat, although Id think there's barely any meat on pigeon.

You do get meat rabbits farmed for eating purposes though, they're found in different countries.

Yeah I know, it must look vague lol.
